Song Ji A is the most well-known lookalike of Jennie. In her appearance on “Single’s Inferno”, the influencer captured attention with her slanted, cat-like eyes and cheeks that highly resembled those of Jennie. Her sensual and classy style recalls many of the YG idol. After the program, Ji A garnered vast popularity and ascended to a new height of fame.

However, the newfound fame quickly evaporated when she was exposed for using inauthentic items in everyday life and in brand promotion. In addition, she came into criticism for exaggerating her family background. The influencer was ostracized and had to issue an apology and took a break from social media.

Jennie’s child lookalike Ella Gross, on the contrary, is loved by the audience. She is a talented model and actress at only 13 years old and has a strong bond with BLACKPINK. She joined YG Entertainment’s associate company The Black Label in 2018.

Zhou Xianxianye is Jennie’s “Chinese version” thanks to her slanted eyes and an uncanny resemblance at specific angles. Xianxianye does not receive much support in China for her overly sexualized image.

Jihyang is a Korean dancer who is another spitting image of Jennie. Her sharp eyes and chubby cheeks draw attention and compliments. She is a backup dancer to famous male idols such as Kang Daniel and Baekhyun (EXO).
